@alexburchmore.bsky.socialReally excited to share this paper co-authored with Mingyuan Jiang for #PublicHumanities, a new open-access journal from @universitypress.cambridge.org that seeks to "ask big questions and pursue bold answers"
Our "big question": Why is antiquity so highly valued in Chinese #museums?

Gearing up for next week's seminar "The Crucible and its Afterlife" at the Newberry next week, where be discussing one of the BIG questions in literary education with Chicago-area teachers.

What is this play [or any work of art] about? Is it confined to original intentions and context? Or can it grow and change?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:5cblx4eifknn35adafg3djta/bafkreieoomheu7utuqhxqkdrhzph3lknsql64gw2ul5ixesotmuqsln5g4@jpeg)
